BIOSHAPES
«The Hospital»:
Do sites and rooms we inhabit have a will of their own?
While working with an installation in a room, hanging large white laminated sheets from the ceiling (an hommage to Eva Hesse) I discover that the dimensions and colour of the sheets imitate that of hospital sheets. There must have been a vast number of sheets in use on this multi-bed ward which is now my studio. Daylight is filtered through the paper and creates a soft white ambience, as when dozing on a bed in daytime.
Bioshapes is a sculptural survey in which I reflect on how organisms in nature have gained their shape through matter and gravity. Random wires decide the shapes, then paper is spanned between the wires. Studio work 2019-20

Varangerhus
Kvenhus/ Combination Houses
During a residency at Vadsø Guest Studio, Varanger january - february 2018, I became aware of the unique architecture of Varanger houses. Working in papercast models my approach was to reflect the endless combinations of compositions, shape and color in built in relation to site, weather conditions and landscape. The Varangerhouses combines housing of people and heard in order to take advantage of heat synergies and sheared walls to restrict use of wood. This traditional building method was brought to Varanger and Finnmark from Finish and Karelian immigrants during the years around 1850.
